I'm keenly interested in knowing what challenges or obstacles post release felons are dealing with when looking for work. I want to know what state you live in, what kind of help are you getting to find work, what resources are available to you and who do you have to help you with everything you're required to do?
Are you on parole?
Are you required to find work within a certain period of time?
Do you have obstacles preventing you from finding a job such as addiction issues, housing, medical or mental health issues, transportation, education or lack of post release support & resources?
Tell me what your experience has been and tell me what you've learned from it. What do you think you need to be successful and to not reoffend or end up back in prison. Are you struggling with PV's due to lack of support or resources?
Share with me in the comments below. Your perspective is important.
I have not been sent to prison but have definitely sat a significant amount of time in county jail - all of which based around the same incident but just multiple pvs (in my opinion, some were completely unheard of as if they made up rules as we went). I am not off of probation for a year now and I don’t miss it at all. However, going back further on some background on myself, I did graduate college in 2013 with an AAB of Office Administration/Business Manafement) I caught My felony though in 2018 and yes I do believe it has most definitely been a hinder on finding a decent job or one that would follow my career.
Your dedication to understanding and helping post-release felons is commendable. Gathering insights on their challenges can lead to more effective support systems. Keep up the great work! #SupportingReintegration
